The heritage city of Hoi An is undergoing a powerful transition toward green transportation. Over the past 24 hours, the tourist electric motorbike rental market here has recorded 5 key events and technological trends, reshaping the zero-emission travel experience for domestic and international travelers.
Electric vehicle manufacturer Selex Motors has officially completed the installation and commissioned 10 additional automated Battery Swapping Stations at key traffic junctions and major homestays on the outskirts of Hoi An Ancient Town. This solution completely eliminates the range anxiety of tourists renting the Selex Camel electric motorbike. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours to fully charge, tourists now spend less than 2 minutes swapping a fully charged battery at the station via a mobile app. This event marks a giant leap forward in building a next-generation electric motorbike ecosystem, optimizing tourists' heritage exploration time.
To stimulate sustainable tourism demand at the end of the year, the pure Vietnamese electric motorbike brand Dat Bike has partnered with major local rental agencies to launch the 'Green Hoi An Journey' campaign. The program applies a direct 15% discount on rental costs for high-performance models like the Weaver++ and Quantum for tourists booking rental packages of 3 days or more. Additionally, the service package includes a complimentary delivery and pick-up service within a 7km radius of the Ancient Town center and 24/7 roadside assistance, ensuring peace of mind for self-sufficient travelers.
The Hoi An Department of Tourism, in coordination with the People's Committee of Hoi An City, announced a plan to expand the pilot 'Pedestrian and Zero-Emission Two-Wheeler Zone' on several arterial routes leading to the city center. Immediately following the announcement of the new regulation, the number of electric motorbike rental bookings at affiliated stores surged by 35% within just 24 hours. Stylish, lightweight, and easy-to-operate electric models such as the VinFast Evo200 Lite and Yadea are highly sought after by female tourists and international visitors due to their agility and harmony with the ancient landscape.
Smart rental provider GreenGo has delivered a fleet of 50 VinFast Feliz S scooters equipped with next-gen GPS tracking and app-controlled smart locks to lodging partners in the An Bang Beach and Cam Thanh areas. This system allows tourists to independently book, pick up, and return vehicles at any of GreenGo's affiliated parking spots without tedious paperwork. VinFast's flexible battery-swapping compatibility, combined with real-time charging station maps on the app, optimizes the travel itinerary from the beach to the ancient town.
The 'Zero Carbon Footprint Tourism' trend is being realized as three leading luxury resorts in Hoi An announced the integration of smart electric motorbike rentals with backup batteries into their all-inclusive stay packages. Premium guests can enjoy complimentary use of electric motorbikes to explore traditional craft villages around Hoi An, such as Thanh Ha Pottery Village or Tra Que Vegetable Village. This initiative is recognized as a lever to promote green consumer habits and enhance the competitive value of the high-end resort tourism sector in Quang Nam province.
